When I got my 83 14 years ago, I could hardly ride the bike at night due to the poor condition of the windshield. It was covered with small scratches and any oncoming cars blinded me. I went thru a series of sanding and polishing operations until I made it just about like new and fortunately I never broke thru the hardcoat. Since then, I have always used Plexus routinely and it has really helped to keep it in very good condition. Like some other things we like to use routinely, like Sea Foam, the price has gone up a bunch lately. I used to be able to get the small can of Plexus for about $7 and the large for $11. The last small can of Plexus I bought with tax was about $11 and the big was $15. Now, the small can is almost $17 and the large would be $23 and this was at my independent cycle shop and his prices are pretty good. I also checked the local bike retailer and prices were a little higher. The guy at the independent shop also noted the price increase and suggested I try something else he had. He says it is the same as the Honda polish and works fine. The small can is about $5.50 and the large can is less than $8. So, I bought a small can and so far, it is working very good. It seems to be slightly thicker than Plexus and I am now using less, but it seems to clean and polish and comes off clean. It is a lot like Plexus in the type cloth you use makes a big difference and a cotton towel works better than a blend. Here is a picture of the can. RandyA

I dropped-in on my local dealer this afternoon and picked-up a 13oz can of Plexus, and I couldn't believe that they were asking $23.00 for it. When I got home, I decided to look-up Plexus on-line to see what kind of prices were being asked by vendors. One of the first links from Amazon was asking $35.99 for a 13oz can. Of course, I know about all of the other great alternatives to Plexus, so that's not a problem. It's just disappointing to find a product that I like, and it then begins to get marked-up so high that it's no longer a reasonable purchase. Heck, I remember paying about $6.00 a can for that stuff just a few years ago. Back to Pledge (the regular scent - lemon attracts bees), or to that Honda polishing spray, I guess.

Went to the dealer to replace my nearly empty can of Plexus. A can that I paid about 9 bucks for last year. Shock set in as the dealer said it was now 17.99 a can!!!! 22.00 msrp price!! No way........Maybe I should have invested my money in their company...sheesh.

Which kind of plexus do you use? Do you use the one in a spray can or the kind that is liquid and comes in a bottle labeled 1, 2, or 3? I went to my local yamaha shop and they didn't have it in stock so you had to order it and the only thing that they showed was in the liquid bottle. Thanks hairman
